Users must both install the necessary Ricoh print driver software and install the "Setup_PPDs_for_server" patch in order to successfully print to a Ricoh MFD.

Download and install the necessary Ricoh print driver software for your version of macOS and your MFD:

• Ricoh Aficio MP 301 SPF
• Ricoh MP 2554
• Ricoh MP 3554
• Ricoh MP 5054
• Ricoh MP 6054
• Ricoh Aficio MP 7502
• Ricoh MP 7503

Download and install the "Setup_PPDs_for_server" patch from either the Macomb campus install server or the QC campus install server (requires ECom login).

• Click one of the links immediately above to connect to the macinstall server (ECom login required).
  • If a dialog appears asking you to select an application, select "Finder".
  • You will find the "Setup_PPDs_for_server" patch software in the Public/Install/Mac/RICOH-Printserver-Patch folder of the macinstall server.
• If while installing the "Setup_PPDs_for_server" patch, you see a warning indicating that "The package was signed with a certificate that has expired," you can safely ignore the message and click the "Continue" button.
  

Once you have installed the print software as outlined above,

1. Open the System Preferences application.
2. Select "Printers & Scanners."
3. Click the "+" button below the "Printers" list.
4. In the "Add" dialog, click the "IP" icon near the top of the window.
5. Enter the necessary information using the "Preferred Method" below.

Note: Try "Preferred Method" first. Use Alternate Method only after experiencing difficulties with Preferred Method and after contacting the uTech Support Center.

Preferred Method (print server method)

Note: Contact the uTech Support Center if you experience difficulties printing using this method (e.g., delays in print jobs arriving at the MFD).

1. Enter the print server address in the "Address" field.
   • Macomb campus: "print-d.wiu.edu" (without the quotation marks)
   • Quad Cities campus: "qcprint-a.wiu.edu" (without the quotation marks)
2. Select "Line Printer Daemon – LPD" from the Protocol drop-down menu.
3. Enter the MFD's print server queue name the "Queue" field exactly as uTech created it.
   • Note: The queue name takes the general form "bn-RICOHm-d" (a string of letters, numbers, and hyphens without spaces such as "ST126-RICOH7502-UTECH"; see the fifth bullet below for an example):
     • b = a building abbreviation for the MFD location (one or more characters)
     • n = a room number for the MFD location (one or more characters)
     • m = an MFD model number (one or more characters)
     • d = a department abbreviation (one or more characters)
     • For example, a Ricoh Aficio MP 7502 used by uTech in Stipes 126 could have a queue name that looks something like "ST126-RICOH7502-UTECH"
   • To get the print server queue name of your MFD, do one of the following:
     • Contact the uTech Support Center for assistance.
     • If you or a colleague have access to a Windows PC with the MFD already installed…
       • Select "Devices and Printers" from the Start menu and note the name of the MFD in list of "Printers and Faxes" in the "Devices and Printers" window.
     • If you have access to a Windows PC without the MFD already installed…
       1. Begin the procedure of adding the MFD to the list of available printers on the PC as you would any other printer.
       2. Note the name of the MFD at any step in procedure that the name appears.
       3. Contact the uTech Support Center if you need assistance with these steps.
     • If you know the IP address of your MFD…
       1. Enter the IP address in the address bar of your favorite browser.
       2. From the "Web Image Monitor" page that appears, note or copy the value of the Host Name field that appears near the top of the page (i.e., the string that appears following the ":"), The host name is the print server queue name of your MFD
4. Enter a name for the MFD in the "Name" field; at the end of the name, include "server" or "S" (to indicate the print server method).
5. Enter the building and room number of the MFD in the "Location" field. (macOS may automatically obtain this information from the MFD.)
6. Select "Select Software..." from the "Use" drop-down menu. (macOS may have automatically selected a corresponding printer description file.)
   
   1. In the Filter (search) field, type the model number of the MFD (e.g., "301" or "2554").
   2. From the list of options that appear, select the printer description that best corresponds with the MFD.
      • Very important: With the exception of the Ricoh Aficio MP 7502, select a corresponding printer description that ends with the words "for server" (the 7502 does not require a "for server" driver).
      • Do no use printer descriptions in which the letter "J" immediately follows the model number.
   3. Click the OK button.
7. In the "Add" dialog, click the "Add" button near the bottom of the window.
8. Verify that the name of the added printer appears in the "Printers" list of the "Printer & Scanners" window.

Alternate Method (IP printing method)

Note: Try "Preferred Method" (above) first. Use Alternate Method only after experiencing difficulties with Preferred Method and after contacting the uTech Support Center.

Note: Contact the uTech Support Center if you experience difficulties printing using this method (e.g., delays in print jobs arriving at the MFD).

1. Enter the IP address of your MFD in the "Address" field.

Use the following procedure if printing from Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat) does not result in a printed document from your Ricoh MFD but you can print successfully from other applications.

Note: This appears to be an issue with Adobe products on macOS and not the Ricoh MFD itself as this issue occurs with non-Ricoh printers, as well.

1. Select the Print… menu item from the Print menu in Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat).
2. In the Reader (or Acrobat) Print dialog box that appears, make any necessary settings, including selecting your Ricoh MFD in the Printer drop-down menu.
3. Click the Printer… button near the lower left-hand corner.
4. In the macOS system Print dialog box that appears, select your Ricoh MFD from the Printer drop-down menu.
5. Select either the Ricoh locked print or normal print preset from the Presets menu.

7. In the Reader (or Acrobat) Print dialog box that reappears, confirm the settings, including the selection of your Ricoh MFD in the Printer drop-down menu.
8. Press the Print button.

Note: If this procedure (steps 1-8) does not result in a printed document from your Ricoh MFD, repeat the procedure but make sure that settings in the macOS system Print dialog box (steps 4-6) match those in the Reader (or Acrobat) Print dialog box as closely as possible.

Alternatively, rather than using Adobe Reader or Acrobat, use the Preview application that comes bundled with every macOS system.

Because SPSS Statistics for Mac does not allow users to select print presets, users cannot print directly to a Ricoh MFD from the application. To print a file created in SPSS Statistics for Mac to a Ricoh MFD, export the file as a PDF; then, open the PDF in and print it from your preferred PDF reader (e.g., Preview, Adobe Reader, or Adobe Acrobat).

1. With the file that you wish to print open in SPSS Statistics, select the Export… menu item from the File menu.
2. Select the Portable Document Format (*.pdf) menu item from the Type drop-down menu in the Document area of the Export Output dialog box.
3. Modify PDF options (Change Options… button) and file name and location, if necessary.
4. Click the OK button.
5. Browse to and open the created PDF in your preferred PDF reader, and print as usual.
